I have a 1750 sq foot house. The house was built in the 1970. I would say it’s nicely insulated. We don’t get an icicles in the winter. We replaced the doors to avoid drafts. We have relatively new windows. We set the heat to 64 at night and 68 during the day if we are home. My gas bill was $160 this past month. I can not imagine what my bill would look like of my heat was set to 70-72. Sometimes I am cold but I am too cheap to raise the heat and my kids don’t complain.
What do you set your house to? How big is your house and how much is your bill?

This will greatly vary by location, size of the house, age of the house, how well it's insulated, etc.

It depends on where you live and what the temperatures are outside

I have a 90 yr old house, forced air gas (updated), furnace is <10 yrs old. Can't say it's insulated well. ~2000 sq ft. My gas bill was $255 this last month--which is primarily heat, but also kitchen stove and hot water. Much higher than last year, but the usage was actually lower---because costs of gas went up.

It's 60-63 from 10P-5A, and days we're out 745AM-330P. Mornings before school/work it's 68, other times home it's set to 68, but I sometimes bump it to 70. Shabbos night before bed and Shabbos day it's 70.

Our winter so far has been slightly warmer than usual, so I've been more liberal with the temperatures. If we get more normal, super cold, temps, I will probably modulate a bit.

We do have an old house but we replaced windows, siding and roof.
We keep the house on 73 for mornings, at nighttime for the bedrooms and all shabbos. During the day when everyone is out it's lower (I don't remember exactly, I'd say mid to low 60s)
Bill was over 500

5400 sf but attic is usually set to 63 bec not in use.
Sahm mom so the heat is on most of the day at least on one floor.
When it's off I lower it to 68 and when it's on it's usually on 71.
In winter bill ranges bet 230 & 270. Summer, only gas is water & stove so it's abt $45.
